The California 4-H Foundation is proud to partner with National 4-H on the "Raise Your Hand" campaign. 4-H is calling on alumni & friends around the world to "raise their hands" and help empower the next generation of true leaders. The goal is to continue to build a California network of connected and engaged 4-H Alumni & Friends. Beginning March 1st - June 30th, we are asking 4-H Alumni & Friends to support 4-H youth by "Raising their Hands" and "Paying it Forward".
Simply go to Raise Your Hand and sign up for the Alumni & Friends Network. Be sure to choose "California" to receive updates and event notifications from California 4-H. Pay it Forward and help raise awareness for California 4-H by using social media to tweet or post your 4-H experience and photos using "#4HGrown". Tag other 4-H Alumni & Friends, and ask them to "Raise their Hand!"
The state with the most hands raised will receive $20,000 to support their State 4-H programs! Second and third place winners receive $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.
California 4-H is excited to build and grow our network! We hope you will "Raise Your Hand" and join us!
